Low-impact living is about making thoughtful, eco-friendly choices in your home. But being sustainable doesn' t have to mean sacrificing style. That' s where Remodelista comes in. In this comprehensive guide, they decode the secrets to creating a home that' s good for the planet - and totally liveable. First, the team invites readers on in-depth tours of the living quarters of a dozen homeowners who have interpreted this ethos in myriad ways: an Australian architect' s state-of-the-art family home, a rental apartment in Brooklyn outfitted with materials salvaged from the neighbourhood, and even a farmhouse in England made of hemp. Then they take us room by room to dissect the most impactful swaps we can make for a healthier home, from a gentler laundry routine courtesy of the Celsious sisters to chef David Tanis' s low-tech approach to cooking. There are simply DIY projects to encourage you to reuse and repurpose rather than buy new, plus the ' Vintage 75' - a roundup of everyday household goods that are easy to find used, and are typically better made and more affordable than their brand-new counterparts. And, of course, there' s remodelling advice for all budgets and scopes: whether you' re looking to choose healthy paint, swap out your rug, upgrade your windows, or overhaul your whole place. It all adds up to an eco-conscious approach that' s about living not only responsibly but also with joy and style.

- Author Bio -
Margot Guralnick is the coauthor of Remodelista: The Organized Home, writer/producer of Remodelista: A Manual for the Considered Home, and a longstanding member of the Remodelista team. Though based in the Bronx, she grew up outside of Boston, and practices New England thriftiness as a way of life. She has been a vintage collector since childhood, and makes botanical art from fallen leaves. Fan Winston is a long-time magazine editor and founding editor of the Organized Home, a companion website to Remodelista. She is thrilled to co-write a book with her fellow Remodelista team member that champions the same principles - a respect for nature, a distaste for wastefulness - her Chinese immigrant parents have instilled in her since childhood. In addition to working on this project, as a library board trustee in her town of Maplewood, New Jersey, she' s helping shepherd the construction of an all-electric, LEED-certified public library.
